The choker necklace, the ultimate sensual and feminine piece of jewelry

The choker has crossed the centuries and eras before becoming the symbol of emancipation and femininity that we know today.

Since ancient times, certain necklaces have been worn tightly around the neck. They are adorned with precious stones or pearls, thus revealing the social status and privileges of their owners. In the Middle Ages, the choker was also popular among the upper classes across Europe. It was commonly worn during ceremonies and social festivities.

During the Renaissance, the Choker necklaces are generally reserved for noblewomen, who wear them as an ostentatious sign of their wealth and the fashion of the time. In the 19th century, the short chain necklace established itself as a fashion accessory in its own right for women of the Victorian era. Lace, satin, pendants and brooches are among the precious aesthetic details of these choker necklaces .

Since the 1920s, the choker has accompanied free and emancipated women. Its triumphant comeback in the 1990s is due to pop culture icons, who wore it with class or boldness, depending on the style and occasion.
